Project 365: Week 1
So it’s a New Year and one of my resolutions is to complete Project 365. So far so good, though this week only consists of 3 days, kinda…
Friday * My vege garden is looking totally splendorous at the moment, I love every square inch of it (all the more so as I harvested the first Zucchini of the summer today!), but most of all I love the colours of the scarlet runner beans.
Saturday * Dave and Dad were away working this weekend so E and I picked up Mum and her doggies Molly and Marley and we headed to Muriwai. Everyone had so much fun, apart from Louie who is wave-phobic and wouldn’t cross the high tide line, though he did enjoy chasing the lifeguards on their quad bike very much. Marley has such a big personality that it’s easy to forget how itty-bitty he is, but you can definitely see his tiny-ness in this photo.
Sunday * Ethan and I packed a lunch, donned our backpacks, tied up our sneaks and went ‘Adventuring’. We had a picnic, found crabs, played cards, layed in the shade, ran in the sun and hiked up FOUR HILLS to get home in the blazing heat. It was awesome.
It may appear to be celebrating the diversity of gay sharks, but this picture Ethan coloured today is pretty big news in the Jack house. Ethan doesn’t ‘do’ arty creative colouring like this. He is a man of science, and prior to this sharks have always been grey, he has also never taken creative licence and drawn teeth on a picture that didn’t already have teeth, because they wouldn’t be just perfect. I love this picture so much because he stopped worry about everything he knows about sharks and just decided to make something look ‘funky’ – that’s what he kept saying, ‘Mama, does my shark look funky?’ . Damn right it does precious.
There are actually no words for this picture. But did you notice Dave’s hot pink Big Shot hair dryer?
